Visuomotor adaptation to a prism-induced lateral displacement of the visual field induces mild perceptual biases in healthy individuals and improves symptoms of unilateral neglect. The present study employed a speeded visual search task to test the hypothesis that prism adaptation induces an adaptive redistribution of selective spatial attention. In Experiment 1, 32 neurologically healthy, righ...

This paper presents a knowledge engineering tool, called PRISM, to model collective behaviors of real-time IoT systems. PRISM is developed on the ADOxx Meta-Modeling Platform, in order to implement the new notion of a domain engineering method, known as behavior ontology. In PRISM, the ontology can be constructed as follows: 1) All the collective behaviors for a domain are defined from active o...

Generally classifiers tend to overfit if there is noise in the training data or there are missing values. Ensemble learning methods are often used to improve a classifier’s classification accuracy. Most ensemble learning approaches aim to improve the classification accuracy of decision trees. However, alternative classifiers to decision trees exist. The recently developed Random Prism ensemble ...

BACKGROUND There is a need to improve the quality of communication between clinicians and parents of young patients with atopic eczema (AE). OBJECTIVE To create a tool to measure the suffering that caregivers experience in association with their child's AE (Caregiver Pictorial Representation of Illness and Self-Measure, Caregiver-PRISM), assess the validity and reliability, and identify facto...

Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP), exemplified by Sato and Kameya’s PRISM, Poole’s ICL, De Raedt et al’s ProbLog and Vennekens et al’s LPAD, combines statistical and logical knowledge representation and inference. Inference in these languages is based on enumerative construction of proofs over logic programs. Consequently, these languages permit very limited use of random variables with con...

Pediatric Risk of Mortality (PRISM), Pediatric Index of Mortality (PIM) and PIM2 could be applicable to the subset of term neonates has not been well investigated. The purpose of this study is to access and compare the performance of these scoring systems in predicting mortality probability in term Chinese neonates with critical illness. PRISM, PIM and PIM2 scores were calculated prospectively ...

The use of the constant-deviation prism for producing monochromatic light introduces the problem of image shifts that result from rotating the prism when changing from one spectral line to another. The magnitudes of both the lateral and the axial components of this shift, for a given rotation of the prism, depend upon the position of the axis about which the prism rotates. A position for the ax...

MOTIVATION The development of high-throughput sequencing technologies has enabled novel methods for detecting structural variants (SVs). Current methods are typically based on depth of coverage or pair-end mapping clusters. However, most of these only report an approximate location for each SV, rather than exact breakpoints. RESULTS We have developed pair-read informed split mapping (PRISM), ...

Methods: Forty-three participants with homonymous hemianopia were fitted with temporary press-on Fresnel peripheral prism segments of 40 prism diopters. Follow-up questionnaires evaluating functional benefits for mobility were administered in the office at week 6. Participants who continued wearing the prisms were interviewed again by telephone after a median of 12 months. Primary outcome measu...

Data and theory from prism adaptation are reviewed for the purpose of identifying control methods in applications of the procedure. Prism exposure evokes three kinds of adaptive or compensatory processes: postural adjustments (visual capture and muscle potentiation), strategic control (including recalibration of target position), and spatial realignment of various sensory-motor reference frames...
